Volume 1: The Genius Doctor's Hidden Edge 017 - A Chance Encounter, Heart Racing

  "Alright, alright, let's go! If we're late, there won't be anything to eat." Tang Zihao pulled Tang Xin forward and said to the two people behind them, "You guys hurry up and follow us!"

  The Lion Building, at noon when people are having lunch, the building is crowded with guests, the first floor is bustling like a vegetable market, every guest who has been to the Lion Building knows that there is a passage on the second floor, no need to go through the lively first floor, this is also a convenience for the guests on the second floor.

  "So this is the Lion Building! It's indeed uniquely decorated!" Liu Shaobai fanned himself, smiling as he gazed at the bustling first floor, and asked: "Miss Su, having lived in the Imperial City for a long time, has the Lion Building's business always been so prosperous?"

  Su Ruo Water, dressed in a white light gauze, said softly: "In fact, the Lion's Head Building is not only famous for its red-braised lion's head, but also has many other dishes that can't be found in other restaurants. Today, there is no queue yet, if it were bustling, this entrance would have a long dragon waiting, and besides, ordering food here requires going to the ordering platform."

  "Then we should try the food in this building. Let's go!" Emperor Miao smiled, and stepped inside.

  The ordering counter was surrounded by a semicircular wooden frame, where a middle-aged man sat and a young woman stood. The middle-aged man was the manager of this building, while the young woman was responsible for receiving guests. On the wall behind them were written dozens of menus for customers to choose from.

  A young woman with a smile on her face slightly bowed and said in a soft voice, "Welcome to the Lion Building, what would you like to eat?"

  "I'll have a little, I'll have a little." Liu Shaobai squeezed forward from behind, smiling and looking at the young woman, asking: "Miss, what's the best dish in this building?"

  "The dishes in our building are all delicious, and there are nineteen signature dishes alone. For those who come for the first time, why not order one of each? You've arrived just in time, as only fifty portions of Red Braised Lion's Head are available daily, and there is only one portion left."

  "I'll take the last one!"

  A voice came, and a plump figure squeezed past them and rushed to the young woman's side, letting out a breath: "Fortunately, I made it in time, Xia Qiu, I'll take the last one."

  "Mr. Tang, it's you!" The young woman's smile deepened as she saw him, and she laughed: "But you're a step late today, look, these few guests just arrived before you, or else I would have introduced you to something else?"

  "I brought my sister here today, Xia Qiu, we're so familiar with each other, can't you just make an exception? He winked at her, not wanting to come all the way here for nothing, especially since he had brought his sister along."

  Liu Shaobai also squeezed forward, putting away the fan in his hand and poking at his protruding belly: "Hey? I'm telling you, Fatty, can't you be reasonable? We arrived first, we've already ordered all the dishes, do you still want to compete with us?"

  Tang Zihao was a bit chubby and often got teased by others, what he disliked the most was when people poked his belly. Moreover, he hadn't done anything to bully anyone, it's just that he had gotten familiar with Xiao Qiu so he asked this one sentence, even if Xiao Qiu said no, he wouldn't insist on arguing about it. Therefore, this person's words suddenly made him very unhappy.

  "Who are you? Why poke my belly? What fatty? Am I in your way? Are you bothered by me?" As he spoke, he deliberately puffed out his protruding belly and bumped into Liu Shaobai.

  Bumped by Tang Zihao's belly, Liu Shaobai's obviously slender body stumbled backward, his face turned pale, and he stared at him with a warning tone: "Hey, I'm telling you, you fatso, that's enough! Don't move your hands or feet!"

  "What's with the hands and feet? Which eye did you see me use, my hand or foot?" Tang Zihao gave him a sidelong glance with his narrow eyes, his face full of disdain.

  "You!"

  Su Ruo saw this and walked forward with light steps, slightly bowed her head and said in a soft voice: "Young Master Tang, Su Ruo pays her respects."

  Tang Zihao narrowed his eyes and sized her up for a moment, then said in a tone as if he had just seen her: "Is it you? Su Ruoshui? When did you arrive?"

  Su Ruoshui's smile at the corner of her lips stiffened, she was a spoiled girl from heaven, no matter what occasion it was, she was always the focus of everyone's attention, but this Tang Zihao, every time he could ignore her as if she were air.

  She put on a polite smile and said, "Young Master Tang, Ruo Shui has been here since just now, it's just that Young Master Tang didn't notice."

  "Oh, really? You also know that my eyes are small and I don't see people clearly. If you didn't speak up, I wouldn't have noticed. By the way, why did you come to Lion's Building today too?" As she spoke, she seemed to think of something and glanced at the few people standing beside her, asking: "Are they with you?"

  After hearing his words, even if she was well-behaved, her face still changed slightly at this moment. In an instant, she regained her composure and said softly: "Young Master Tang, they are my friends who have come from afar. Today is their first time back to Lion's Building. If Young Master Tang doesn't mind, why don't you join us for dinner?"

  "Alas, forget it. I'm not eating with that guy, I'm afraid I won't be able to eat." He glanced at Liu Shaobai, who was huffing and puffing, and said: "You guys came first today, so I won't compete with you. Anyway, if we don't get to eat today, there's always tomorrow. We're not in a hurry. My sister and I will just eat something else. Xiao Qiu, which dish do you think tastes better? My sister doesn't like greasy food."

  Upon hearing this, Emperor Di's eyes flickered slightly as he secretly sized him up, feeling that he looked somewhat familiar, yet couldn't recall where they had met before.

  "Brother Fatso, have you ordered food yet?"

  A sound as clear and melodious as a mountain spring came, and before anyone saw the person, the pleasant voice had already entered everyone's heart, lightly plucking at the heartstrings like a feather, making people's hearts flutter. Emperor Mo turned his head to look back, and saw a girl in a green dress walking slowly towards him, with an absolutely beautiful face, outstanding figure, and unique temperament. As soon as she appeared, she instantly captured the attention of everyone on the first floor. Among them, Emperor Mo was even more filled with unspeakable excitement and joy in his heart, a feeling of being deeply moved that was quietly spreading...

  It was she, the girl in the peach forest.

  A blue dress, simple makeup, a blue silk ribbon tied around her waist, and tassels hanging down from her sides, swaying gently with her movements. The two white-clad twin girls followed quietly behind her, looking like ordinary maids, yet seeming extraordinary.

  Su Ruoshui's beautiful eyes flowed with dark light, silently sizing up the blue-clothed girl who was approaching slowly. She was the first beauty of the Dragon Teng Continent, famous for her stunning looks. She believed that no one could surpass her in terms of appearance, but unexpectedly, the blue-clothed girl's face and figure were even more beautiful than hers. A sense of crisis arose in her heart, and she quietly glanced at Emperor Mo Yan beside her, seeing the astonished look in his eyes as he gazed at the blue-clothed girl. She couldn't help but bite her lip slightly, glancing at the blue-clothed girl before slowly lowering her eyelids.
